Visit an Italian deli and splurge on the cold cuts, but hit the supermarket for everything else, including the not-too-crusty rolls that are usually loaded into bins in the bakery section.

Yield
8 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Italian hot spread sauce (such as Tutto Calabria) or 2 jarred pickled jalapeños, finely chopped

1 teaspoon crushed dried oregano, plus more for serving

1 red onion, very thinly sliced

Mayonnaise (for rolls)

8 6–9-inch soft Cuban, hero, or hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

2 pounds assorted cured meats, such as prosciutto cotto, mortadella, coppa, hot soppressata, and/or Genoa salami, thinly sliced

½ pound provolone cheese, thinly sliced

1 head of iceberg lettuce, shredded

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Red wine vinegar and olive oil (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1
Combine hot spread sauce and 1 tsp. oregano in a small bowl.
Step 2
Place onion in a small bowl and add cold water to cover; let soak 10 minutes. Drain; pat dry.
Step 3
Working one sandwich at a time, spread mayonnaise over each roll and ¼ cup Italian sauce mixture over bottom half. If using prosciutto and/or mortadella, drape slices so that the meat folds over itself to make a pleated mound down the length of the roll (about 4 slices total). Shingle other sliced meats of your choosing over top, overlapping slightly. Top with provolone, ½ cup iceberg, and some onion; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with vinegar and oil and sprinkle with a little more oregano. Close sandwich and cut in half crosswise.
